' Counting and Selecting Machines, of which the following is a clear,full, and exact descri tion. 7 I

e object of my invention is to provide a coin counting and packagingmachine,

which is adapted to receive a large quantity of coins, separate them oneby one from the mass, and carry them in single order p past a cyclometermechanism which they actuate in transit, and finally deposit said coinsin cartons.

It is a further object of my invention to set the machine so that itwill automatically stop when a predetermined number of coins have beencounted, and which will show just the number of coins that have beencounted and the number remaining to be counted, at

any time during the process of counting said affordthe cartons a chanceto predetermined number.

It is also an im )ortantobject of my invention to provide automaticmechanism that insures the depositing in each carton a given number ofcoins during the processional movement of said cartons in transit pastthe point where the coins are received thereby.

It is also another object of myinvention to slightly halt the flow ofcoins falling into the cartons, when the latter have received thepredetermined number of the same, to

ass from under the devices guiding the falling coins, and

- the next carton to be brought into position to receive the same, andalso'to keep the carton vibrating up and down during the time it isreceiving coins, so as to properly stack and pack the same. 7

These and other objects it accomplishes quicklymnd accurately,andcontinuously for long a. period of time as desired, much better than canbe done by human agencies; substantially as hereinafter fully described,and as particularly pointed out in the claims.

Generally speaking my invention consists of a suitable base A which maybe circular or otherwise and is provided with a concentric revolvingannulus B, and with a suitable standard C arising therefrom, and aninclined magazine I). This magazine is so constructed that. coindeposited therein are carried on the marginal portion of its revolvingbottom to about the highest point reached by the same, and thendeposited, one by one, into a pocket of a revolving hopper E, by meansof which they are carried past and operate the actuating mechanism oftwo cyclometers and are finally dropped into a suitable chute wherebythey are conveyed to and dropped into cartons arranged in a circle onand concentric to thereof nearest the center of the base,

' horizontally-projecting brackets that afford ,with a worm-gear 3, thatI the revolving annulus,- hereinbefore referred to.

The standard C is provided, on the side with bearings for the upper andlower section of the vertical drive-shaft f the machine; the lowersectionof which latter is Provided is engaged by a worm g, on thearmature shaft of a suitable motor G, secured to said base. The uppersection of the drive-shaft is driven by the lower section through themedium of a suitable clutch, consisting of a lower clutch member Nsecured fast to the upper end of the lower section, and a sliding memberM on the lower end of the upper section of the drive-shaft, as willhereinafter more exceeds the total diameter of the revolvingcumferential edges zinc is secured cline toward an imaginary tom of themagazine and has its cirflanged in a direction awayfrom the standard.-The lower portion 11, say about two-thirds, of said flange projectsabout three times the extent ofthe upper portion 10 thereof and has theouter margins of a segmental plate 12 suitably secured to its edge so asto overhang the sectional margins of the revolving bottom 5 .of themagazine, to which segmentalplate the scoop-shaped walls 13 of themagaby means of an angle-strip 14. The wall13 forms, in conjunction withthe bottom of the magazine, a receptacle into which the coins to becounted are deposited, and it is so constructed as to inapex inalinement with the axis of the bottom of the hopper. The edge of theright-hand portion of the hopper, next the revolving bottom 5 extendsbeyond the edge of the segmentalplate 12,. and comes so close to it asto almost touch bottom 5, and continues in such close relation until apoint is reached, which is to the right of the vertical plane of theaxis of the pivotal stud 6, whereupon said edge of the wall begins tore'cede from thebottom of the magazine until it is removed therefrom adistance correspondin to that separating the segmental plate i rom thesame, at which distance it then remains until the upper left hand edgethereof is reached. If desired this left-hand upper edge of the wall 13may be provided with ed to flange 10 for a an extension 15, which isdeflected upward and follows the curvature of and is connectshortdistance.

Thispolygonal rim is inclined from its upper edge toward the hollowpolygonal box and forms suitable pockets or hoppers that are open bothat thetop and bottom, but comparatively narrow and their upper openingscomparatively wide The diameter of this revolving series of hoppers isas the hopper E secured thereto.

have their lowerv openings such that they are successively carried pastper revolves the trays successively fall backward as they come oppositethe upper recessed edge of said rim, and receive'the coins, carried bysaid trays. The sides of the hopper extend below the pockets and have abottom-plate 24 secured to its lower edge, which, in the vertical planeof the partitions 22, is provided with radial dovetail projections 26.Hopper E is secured to a comparatively thick boss 27 by means of screwstapped through. plate 24 and said boss is secured to shaft 21..

Just below plate 24, boss 27 diameter, and,

is reduced in portion, it is provided with a circumferjust below thisreduced annular groove between plate 24 and boss is bent downward and27, in which a segmental arm 29, extends. The end of this arm nearestthe magazine and the remainder of its length extends in said move adistance corres ondin toa b H little less than one-half thecircumference of the said plates, whereupon the outer edge of itsextremity is deflected outward to throw the coins, which are fallinginto the hopper and rolled around on edge on the platform H between theprojections 26 and 28, into engagement with radiating fingers 31 of aspur-wheel 32, and revolving the same. The coins which fall into thepockets of the hopper are kept rolling on edge by means of' asegmentalinverted L- shaped guard secured to platform ll and extending from apoint adjacent to the stationary back of the magazine. outside of theperiphery described by the projections 26 and 28, to the spur wheel,whereupon its vertical portion terminates, but its upper horizontalportion extends over the spurwheel a suitable distance. After the coinleaves the spur-wheel 32, it enters a passage 34 in a metal casing 35,constructed mostly of plate metal and screwed or otherwise se cured tothe edge of the platform H, opposite the magazine. The top edge ofcasing 35 in which passage 34 is made extends over the path of the coinas it passes the spurwheel and forms an edge 36 that engages the topofsaid coin, from the edge of the same as well as depress it into andthrough the slot 37 in the platform. From this slot the coin falls intoa chute 1, comprising two parallel plates the upper ends of which areflanged and secured to the underside of the platform, and are suitablyspaced apart by edge strips placed between their outwardly inclinedlongitudinal edges.

The hopper-shaft 21 is engaged by means of an idle gear 38, which latter.derives motion through the pinion 8 on the upper end of thedrive-shaft, and imparts its motion to a gear 39 on the shaft 21,immediately below the platform H, and saidhopper-shaft extends down toand has its lower end journaled in suitable hearings in a secondaryplatform 40, which latter consists of a horizontal-plate secured to andprojecting from the standard (1 about midwav its height. This platform40 has a standard or boss S secured toand arising from the lugs for arock-shaft 41.

and strips the dirt of rock-shaft 41 extends immediately under the loweropen end of said chute, and consists of an open rectangular frame 42,into which the upper end of a suspended spring chute 43 is secured, bymeans of pins 44 projecting from the ends of a cross-bar 45, whichlatter forms one end of a head 46, whose other end is providedwit-h acrossar 47 bent to provide a finger-grasp. This head and its cross-baris, preferably, made of an I-shaped strip of sheet metal with itscross-bars bent at right angles to the connecting member of the head,and provided. with center openings for thepassage of a stud 48projecting at right angles from the center of length of the openrectangular frame portion of the rock-shaft 41. The outer portion ofthis stud 48 is greater in diameter than the remainder of its length,and has a coil expansion-spring surrounding it between its outershoulder and crossbar 45, thus keeping pins 44, that extend throughsuitable openings in the adjacent longitudinal side of frame 42, intoengagement with openings in the outwardly projecting lugs 49 of chute4L3.

Chute 4-3 consists of a tube, rectangular in cross-section, and with abore of such dimensions as to permit the coin to fall edgewise.therethro-ugh. This chute extends down to and terminates just about thetop of the paper cartons, which are placed in tubular holders secured toand arising from the revolving annulus B. The lower end of this chute,43. is, preferably, curved slightly sidewise in the direction of therotation of the annulus and provided with two or more flat spring-arms,50, 50, the upper ends of which are permanently secured to a suitablepiece of metal attached to the side'of the chute. and the lower ends ofwhich extend below the lower end of the chute and are bent so as o bearagainst the upper end of the carton and assist in directing the fallingcoin'into the mouth of the same. 9

Spur-wheel 32 is secured to the upper end of a vertical shaft 51, and isonly actuated when a coin engages said spur-wheel. This shaft 51 extendsdown through suitable hearings in platform ll, platform 40. and thebase-plate. and near said base-plate has an elongated pinion 52,whichlatter engages and drives a gear on the lower end of a "erticalshaft 54, whose ends are journaled in the base-plateand the secondaryplatform 40. Gear 53 is provided with an upwardly extending boss, theupper end of which has a pinion 55made integral therewith.'and said gearand pinion are splined to,said shaft, so as to have a limited verticalmovement thereon but revolve therewith, and gear 53 and pinion 55 areshifted longitudinally on the shaft 54 by means of a frame 56, the lowerbend of which is much smaller than its upper bend. The lower extremityof frame 56 is bifurcated, and passes blade ble upper portion of plate57 out toward than idle-gear 60 and edge of which is provided to eachside of the shaft between pinion 55 and gear said frame, immediatelyabove its extremity passes above the pinion, thus by lifting frame 56the pinion 55 can be shifted longitudinally on said shaft 54. Thisshifting I prefer to accomplish by means of a vertical- 57, secured tothe lower bend and the upper end of frame 56 in any suitable manner, andhaving its upper fieitible portion extended beyond the secondaryplatform 40, and provided with a suitable handle. at its upper end,which is secured thereto by means of a screw 58 the head of whichprojects toward shaft- 54. By pulling the flexithe chute, sufiiclenttoenable the head of screw 58 to clear the edge of platform 40, theshifting frame 56 can bemoved downward so as to move the pinion 55 intoengagement with an idle-gear 59, journaled on a suitable stud projectingup from the base A. lVhen said shifting-frame is at the limit ofitsdownward movement the head of the screw 58 will catch under the edge ofthe secondary frame and pinion at thelimit of its upward \Vhen' saidpinion 55 has been" movement. I thus moved to the limit of its upwardmovement it engages an idle-gear 60 secured on the lower end of anidle-shaft 61, the upper end of which latter is journaled in thesecondary platform and the lower end in a plate 62 supported by postsarising from the base-plate Idle-gear 59 is-less in diameter it engagesa gear 63 while idle-gear 60 engages a gear 64. Gear 64 is less indiameter than gear 63, and this train of pinions and gears, 55, 59, 60,63 and 64 are so proportioned, that it- Will require fifty coins to passthe spur-wheel 32 in order to cause pinio-n- 55 to revolve gear 63,through the medium of the idle-gear 59. one complete revolution, or itwill require forty coins to pass the spur-wheel and cause pin-' ion- 55,through the mediumof the idle-gear 60, to revolve the gear 64 onecomplete revolution. Gears 63 and same shaft 65, at a suitable point.Between ear 64 and the; secondary platform I provide shaft 65 with a cam66, the engaging rically opposite spurs 67 apex' of the other the edgeofthe cam is curved so as to givesaid edge a gradually increasing radiusfrom the center of the cam. The edge of this camis engaged, adjacent tothe magazine, by a curved shorter crumed on a vertical and thehorizontal portion of- 'long enough to 64 are-secured to thethe mediumwith-two diamet-' 67, from the base of the inner edge of eacho-f whichto' the J. This lever is fulrod 70 connecting the plate 62 and thesecondary-platform, and the extremity of its longer branch 69 extendstoward and is engaged by'an arm '71 projecting inward and downward fromchute 43. The shorter branch 68 of this lever is kept in engagement withthe edge of the cam 66 by means of a coil contraction-spring 72connecting said branch to spur-wheel shaft 54.

Immediately above lever J an arm 73 is loosely pivoted to stationaryshaft 70. and this-arm is connected to branch 68 of said lever by acoil-spring 77, but its movement toward the same is limited by a pin 74projecting upward from branch 68 near the fulcrum of the lever. Arm 73is provided with a boss which, preferably, extends upward as far as theunderside of the secondary platform, and is there provided with an arm 75, that extends horizontally out beyond the edge of said secondaryplatform nearest the chute, and then upward toa point near plat-- formH, whereupon its extremity branch 68 of a lever have revolved to suchposition that the extremity of arm 7 3 will ride over the point of oneof the spurs 67 of the cam, and, by reason of the action of thecoil-spring 77, have a limited movement toward the center of the camuntil said extremity engages the curved edge of the cam again, adjacentto the base of the spur 67, the'extremit-y 76 of arm 75 will move towardthe base through openings 7 8 in the upper portion of the upper chute1', as shown. As-the camcontinues to revolve,'after causing thismovement of arms 73 and 75, theextremity of the shorter branch 68 of thelever will ride overthe point of the opposite spur 67 of the cam andquickly move toward the center of the cam, and, as theconti'act-ion'spring 7 2 is stronger than the coil-spring 7 7 amovementof lever J through the medium of the stop-pin 74, will move arm 73 backto its original position and arm 75 with it. Then the upper extremityofarm 76 enters the openings 78 in the upper end of the chute I, it stopsthe downward movement of two or three coins permit the lower end of thespring-chute43 to ride over and escape past the top of the carton intowhich it has been depositing coins, and engage and direct the fallingcoin into the next following carton. The longer branch of lever J will,through of the downwardly projecting arm 71 of the chute 43, cause saidchute to swing in the direction of the movement of the annulus B andkeep pace' with the carton until the desired number of coins have beendeposited in the same, whereupon, as the lever is permitted to resumeits original position, by reason of its shorter branch 68 moving pastthe spur, the coil contraction 7 6 is turned toward chute I When saidcam shallspring 72 will release the swinging chute 43 and permit thesame, by reason of the action of the coil spring 79 on rock-shaft 41upon the open rectangular frame thereof, to brush past the top of thecarton it has been loading into engagement with the next emptydimensions of pinion 80, and idle gear 81' are such that the annuluswill be moved only the distance sufficient to allow the desired numberof coins to be deposited in each carton, as they are fed into saidcarton by swinging chute 43, which latter, as hereinbefore fullyexplained, keeps pace with the movement of the annulus for a limiteddistance. I

The cartons are placed in a circular series of tubular holders 83secured to said annulus, and these cartons are of such dimensions thatthe open top edge bears against the fiat spring arms 50. Said holdershave a false-bottom 84 of about the same diameter, secured by pins 85which extend through openings in said annulus, and which are engaged bya shoe 86," which causes the false-bottom to correspondingly vibratevertically, so as to jolt the cartons contained in the same and make thecoins therein settle level and compact. This shoe is secured to theouter edges ofa radially disposed rocking-beam 87, which is fulcrumedabout midway its length in suitable bearings projecting downward fromthe end of the base, and has its inner edge provided with ananti-friction roller 88.which engages the teeth of a crown ratchet 89securedon the y lower end of the drive-shaft 2.

The current is thrown on or 011 to the motor G by means of a switch K ofsuitable construction, which is secured to the edge of the secondaryplatform next standard C and faces the magazine. The brush is for thisswitch is secured to and extends down from a lever L, which is fulcrumedat one end to. the standard, and through the medium of an anti-frictionroller orboss m, carried thereby, engages the circumferential groove inthe upper sliding clutch member M of the clutch and throw the same intoor out of engagement with the lower member of said clutch to transmitthe motion of the lower section of the drive-shaft to,- or move it outof engagement with the upper section. About midway"the length of thislever it is provided with a laterally projecting stud O, which isengagedby the lower end of the vertical member of an L-shaped trip-leverP, which latter is fulcrumed to a lug 9, depending from a frame Q, thatautomatically moves upward and releases the clutch and lever L, when acertain predetermined number of coins have been counted bythe'cyclometer used 'in connection with my invention.

Referring to Fig. 12, this frame Q c011 sists of two arms orside-stripswhich are secured at one end to a horizontal rock-shaft 90 the ends ofwhich are journaled in suitable lugs 150 depending down from theunderside of the platform H, and these sidestrips have their endsfarthest from said shaft engaged by a cross-bar 91, having-a series ofupwardly projecting fingers 92 that are adapted to engage and enterrecesses 151 in the underside of the gearing of the cy" clometer whenthe graduated dials thereof are in certain position indicating naught,substantially as will hereinafter be more fully described.

Immediately under the platform H, the

My improved machine is capable of selecting and counting coins of acertain value from many mixed coins of different values done by means ofan arm f which ilaced in the magazine. This I accomplish y rabbeting theouter edges d of the trays 16 of the revolving bottom, and by providingthe rear edges of said trays about midway between the inner edges with aslightly projecting stud 0. Some device must be use which will reject orremove the undesirable coin from the tray before the latter reaches sucha position'that it will fall backward and dump its load into therevolving hopper. This I accomplish by means of a strfilppingblade f,and, if that should prove ine ective, an upsetting-arm f' The body ofthe stripobliquely across the the rim 9 of the backframe of the 'itsouter extremity is hooked downward and pivotally connected to the rearmarginal surface of said rim. Near its opposite end it is provided witha downward tongue 2 which laps down in front of the marginal portionof-said rim over the rabbeted edge ofthe trays, more or less. The extentthe said tongue laps over said rabbeted edges is determinedby raising-.or lowering the adjacent end of the blade, and this is rojects from asuitable boss f, and has its ree end ext-end transversely through theadjacent bifurcated end of blade f. Boss f is the head of a bolt, thebarrel of which is journaled in suitable bearings made in a bracket 7.:at about its center of length, and it exdeuominat-ion, or coins roaa ootends through center of length, and holds it in anyposition desired byclamping itagainst the side of the bracket and by tightening the nut jonits screw-threaded end. Bracket is secured to the back of the rim 9 inany suitable mannerv and extends out over the magazine a. suitabledistance, and arm 7' is of such length and its pivot is so located thatits extremity just reaches and permits the trays to move under it. Theopposite end of this arm is pointed and is intended to indicategraduations made in the conti uous side of the outer end of the brac atwhich are indicated by the letter D for dimes, by the letter P forpennies, and by the letter N for nickels. By moving this arm j so thatits index will point to the raduations marked D, the stripperso' thatits tongue will eject all coins excepting dimes, from the trays beforethey reach the point where they are deposited in the revolving hopper.After the dimes have been all removed from the mass of coins in themagazine, the index arm can be moved so as to indicate the graduationmarked P and thereupon the said blade will proceed to select all thepennies from the mass of coins in the maga zine and exclude all largercoins, and by moving the 'said arm so as to indicate the graduationmarked N, the machine will a straight arm 7' about its proceed toelevate and count the nickels.

While the selection of these various coins is perfectly practicable, itis customary to deposit in the magazine only coins of a certain largelyconsisting of coins of a given value. Arm 1' may be provided with anextension 0 which extends in -the opposite direction from the index arm,and the end ofthis extension terminates and is so shaped that, when thebranch of arm 1' is set-so that the stripper-blade ejects coins largerthan that which it is desired to count, the end of the opposite branchofsaid arm will assist the action of the stripper-blade, and sweep thelarger coins from the trays should they pass under the tongue of thestripper-blade and continue to adhere to the trays.

If desired the lower swinging-chute 43 with the spring-arms 50 may beomitted or removed from the upper stationary portion of the chute I inthe manner hereinbefore describedand a similar chute, 43*, from whichsaid spring arms 50 and arm 71 is removed may be substituted therefor,as shown in Figs. 19 and 20, and instead of the coins discharging intocartons they may be deposited in a. bag. I have, therefore, provided abag-holder which comprises a standard madeof sheet metal of suitablethickness and consists of a flat plate 136 the lower end of whichterminates in suitable legs 137, which latter are provided with in- Ifrom enters .end of the \vardly projecting dowels 138, adjacent to theirlower ends, that are adapted to enter holes in the outer edges of thebase-plate. The upper end of plate 136 extends upward toward the centerof the machine and its upper portion .is bent horizontally and laps overthe edge of the secondary-plat form, where a dowel 140 projectingthere-K a suitable opening made therefg for in said platform alongsideof the upper shifting-frame 56. Just above its legs this plate 136 isprovidedwith a forwardly projecting yoke or loop let-1 of metal, withinwhose embrace the upper -end 'of a scoop-shaped chute I42 is secured.The

part of this loop bridging the outer substantially parallel edges of thechute 142 is provided with a vertical somewhat wedge shaped extension,and to the upper portion of this extension a clamping-plate 143, ofsubstantiallythe same contour, is secured by means of a thumb-screw 144,substantially as shown. In order to secure the bag to this chute. thechute is inserted in the mouth of the same, and then the edges of thebag are drawn tight around the upper edge-of the chute, and the forwardportionof said edges folded back upon itself and clamped betweenthedower edge of the clamping-plate 143, and the forward portion of theyoke or loop, by tightening thumb-screw 144.
